Paris during the Olympics, and my broken finger…

But at least it’s on my left hand, and I’m not a leftie ! 😂

Life has been so hectic lately, but we finally have some good weather in Paris : welcome to Summer… we skipped Spring for you, apparently. I’m gonna try my best to tan on my balcony, and keep up with my beautiful plants, while staring into these breathtaking sunsets that we get, drinking from a nice glass of wine;

Speaking of wine, during the hot days I’m very much into having to drink between an iced tea, or latte during the daytime, which I make myself. When comes the evening though I want a good dry white wine, can be sparkling as well. I’m also loving Greek Raki, the Tsikoudia, which is made from grapes, or the Serbian Rakija, my favorite being made from apricots… it’s divine. Or even some Japanese Sake, which I usually prefer drinking warmed up.

But anyway, I’m gonna be spending this month editing lots of pictures for sale purposes : I’m saving up to buy a professional camera, and launch like a mini sustainable thing, so it can be more than just a hobby, G.od’s willing.

Surrendering to simple things in life

I get lost looking at the skies ✨

There’s something just so peaceful about it. I watch it all unravel from my window, how Mother Nature is so strong and beautiful. Then I go for walks in the woods, and there’s more enchantment to be found there as well. It’s never-ending when we can disconnect from everything but what grounds us.

On another note, I’ve opened up my closet on Vinted… click here to see what I’ve put out ! 🤗

I still can’t believe we have a Krispy Kreme in Paris ! 🍩

Krispy Kreme was so part of my American life 😍 Back in California whenever I was craving some donuts, I’d go there if I could. Sure there were other options, but I was always a Krispy Kreme fan. I’m bringing everyone I know there now, with a side of coffee for optimal enjoyment.

Paris is always so beautiful when it’s sunny… it’s so unfortunate that we can’t have much of that weather.

Hello ! Took another break 🤪

I was actually seriously sick for basically two months straight, it was insane. My immune system completely gave up on me, and I caught all kinds of silly viruses, and the recovery process was so long… I just couldn’t do much else.

Finally feeling some better, the weather in Paris is so sh*tty though, I’m having a hard time. It’s definitely not helping with my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms… I wish we’d just move to the South of France 🙏 one day maybe !

In the meantime, I was visited by my best friend Barbara, who came all the way from Switzerland 🤗 we had an amazing time together, I miss her so much, always. Long distance relationships are hard, but when it’s true love, it’s lasting no matter what. Although, you do have to nurture it.

Sunsets state of mind

April 5, 2024April 4, 2024 ~ Madison Kennedy

I love sunsets because they remind of LA ☀️

California definitely has the best views, whether it’s a forest, or a sunset, or beaches… everything’s grand and beautiful. I always miss being there, because in the back of my mind, I can never truly forget those feelings. Sure enough when I’m looking at the sky, and it’s this pretty, I’m transported back there inevitably.

But okay, France is also gorgeous. I mean if I had to choose, I would still pick where I’m at right now. It just brings me so much comfort, and a feeling of being safe… which you can’t really have in the US, unless you’re like well-off. I would love to move to the South of France in the near future though, because sea, salt and sun anyone ? duh.
